Seed Companies

I just discovered recently that Monsanto keeps trying to patent more of our food! Have a read here:

In buying my seeds, I will now check in on these forums and make sure I ask to make sure none of the seeds came from Seminis. I lucked out and most of my previous purchases are safe. The rest came from knowledgeable organic farmers so I'm assuming those are safe as well:
Moral of the story, keep your eyes open!  Don't buy those mystery dollar store or Canadian Tire brands without checking where they come from first!
